1.  *     Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,[1]
 
2.  *     Who has created all things and  perfected them.[2]
 
3.  *     Who has set their destinies and guided them.[3]
 
4.  *     Who brings forth  green pasture,[4]
 
5.  *     then reduces it to black rubbish.[5]
 
6.  *     Soon We shall make you recite  Our revelations so you shall forget none of them[6]
 
7.  *     except what Allah wills. Surely He  knows what is open and what is hidden.[7]
 
8.  *     We shall make it easy for you to follow  the easy way.[8]
 
9.  *     Therefore remind, surely reminder does benefit.[9]
 
10.  *     He who fears  Allah will heed the reminder,[10]
 
11.  *     and he who is unfortunate will avoid it.[11]
 
12.  *     The one  who will avoid, shall burn in the gigantic fire,[12]
 
13.  *     where he shall neither die nor  live.[13]
 
14.  *     The one who will take admonition and purify himself shall be successful,[14]
 
15.  *     who remembers the name of his Lord and prays.[15]
 
16.  *     But O men! You prefer the life  of this world;[16]
 
17.  *     while the Hereafter is better and everlasting.[17]
 
18.  *     Surely the same  was said in the earlier scriptures;[18]
 
19.  *     the scriptures of Abraham and Moses.[19]
